Au contraire: There are loads of reasons not to use perl, all of them major.
Goat sacrifices are one of the more minor ones. Programming has a long tradition of goat sacrifices. I personally worked in a software company that decided to sacrifice a goat. However, the company failed shortly afterwards, so I do not actually recommend goat sacrifice any more than perl.
Ever tried to describe to someone below the age of 10 why you need to declare variables?
Yes.
The issue of forward referencing is part of the nature of the universe, not specific to certain computer languages. I would probably actually use the words "Forward references are only permitted where the context enables their dereferencing." and then explain what they mean to some ten year olds, also explaining that it is the same reason that you cannot, in English class, say "He was good" without previously having identified a male suspect. This works for the ones that will learn most from the tools.
You may wish to use different words to a 10 year old, but that depends on their language skills, world understanding and social background. And yours. It is not necessarily out of place to explain the whole issue, just as it is not always appropriate. Some 10 year olds might be better off kicking a ball round the playground.
the plethora of architectures and devices the Linux kernel has been ported to is tiny compared to the plethora that support NetBSD.
Enquiring minds might be interested to know that there are effectively 3 main BSDs: FreeBSD - the fastest and most stable, but mostly on Intel Achitectures
OpenBSD - the most secure and with solid support for a range of architectures popular for security and infrastructure, like Sparc,
NetBSD - the most portable (and, in my experience, the least stable).
They are not like Linux distros, they are completely different from the ground up, although code is often ported from one to another because the licence is identical.
then a laptop with a five year old panel (or even a new panel with five year old tech) is at a big disadvantage.
Noooo
In the olden days, you were not stuck with a glossy monstrosity with 1080p as your maximum vertical resolution. These are recent developments. It is the new laptop screens that are crap.
There is NO evidence at all that bush meat was implicated in this entire epidemic. It probably started through playing with an infected, imported, pet monkey. The sort of thing that could easily happen in America.
As for "bush meat" - in other countries, deer, pheasant and grouse are considered "fair game.
In Europe, people go for a "walk in the countryside" in Africa, the same thing is called a "trek through the bush". It is more about use of English and prejudice than anything else.
Then why is there ZERO integration with it? Why is it some python scripted separate app instead of being a normal control panel pane, like changing color is in every other operating system on the planet. Why do you have do a separate download. Thats it just utterly crazy that it does not have the ability built in to change color.
Because it was produced by a bunch of deranged Gnomes Or is there some other explanation?
What all reasonably sensible software should do when faced with a choice: Ask the user what he wants with a default that is useable in all plausible circumstances.
You are the one full of shit. Hacker/hack is a term that originally meant what it still does in the phrase "people who do the hack work". It has always meant people with the knowledge of how things really work, whether in computing, the press, or anywhere else.

I am afraid you have no future in the sales department. Collect your cards on the way out.
Oh, Wait ...

Should be enough for anyone!
Most of the current crap fails miserably with English - it may or may not work with American - I could not possibly comment.

How much is 100% of nothing again?

This is not just my experience, but that of everyone in my family (excluding the Apple users, who are all happy bunnies too).
I don't think windows will run on UltraSparc and I doubt it runs well on Arm.
That was the whole point of buying it!
You are a sparrow, oh, wait...
Moo!
Or you can buy a second hand one with the 40MB hard drive still in it for the same dollar! (Might cost $5 per month for the electric bill, though).
You might want to update to WIn98 - or NetBSD for security: I can't imagine MS trying to install Win10 on it will leave it working.

On multiple displays?
On multiple servers?

There. That was not so hard, was it?
9/10 accidents I see involving bikes, the car/bus/truck is stationary, or the bike hits another bike.
Probably the other vehicle's fault for waiting at the lights or being parked in a parking bay.
Based on today's experience of bike riders, if he rides a bike, he probably thinks his own safety is not worth a fig.
Now get off my lawn.
But think of the pork!
